orbit-gmail
Open Orbit briefing skill — selected by the Orbit pipeline when Gmail is the user's only connected connector, or when the user explicitly scopes their daily digest to Gmail. Pulls the past 24 hours of inbox activity (replies awaited, mentions, cc, auto- categorized bulk) from the user's authenticated Gmail connection and renders the digest as the Orbit Daily Digest email opened inside Gmail's reading view. This skill should not be triggered manually — it is invoked by Orbit's daily-digest scheduler against live Gmail data.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# Orbit · Gmail Briefing Single-connector Orbit template scoped to Gmail. The briefing renders as **the Orbit Daily Digest email already opened** inside Gmail's reading view — Gmail top header + the email chrome (toolbar / subject / sender / digest body / reply bar). There is no left rail, no inbox list, and no three-pane layout. ## ⚠️ Source-of-truth protocol (read this first) **Step 1.** Open and read the shipped `example.html` in this folder before writing any output. That file is the canonical design — your job is to **reproduce it**, not reinterpret it. **Step 2.** Mirror the example's structure 1:1: - Same DOM hierarchy and class names: `<header>` (Gmail top bar) → `<main class="digest-wrap">` → `<div class="email-chrome">` → toolbar / subject / sender row / digest body / reply bar. - The Gmail top header has only the elements present in the example (hamburger / wordmark / search bar / help / settings / app launcher / avatar). **Do not** add a left rail (no Compose button, no system labels, no Categories tabs, no colored label list). - **Do not** render an inbox list of other emails. Only the opened digest email is shown. - Same digest-body sections in the same order: greetin
- ⚠️ Source-of-truth protocol (read this first)
- ⚠️ Design system policy
- Canvas tokens (use these exact values)
- Page sections (top to bottom — the page is one column, not a 3-pane app)
- Pill / icon rules
- Implementation constraints (paired do / don't)

How do I install it?

Where does this skill come from?
From nexu-io/open-design, a repository with 83,577 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
